Just across the water from Termas de Puyuhuapi (a 10-minute speed boat ride and a 15 minute bus ride) is the Parque Nacional Quelat, a beautiful park full of humongous nalca plants and large tepa trees and some nice hiking. The park is generally very difficult to access, as it’s somewhere in the middle of the Carretera Austral — dirt road for over 1000 km. But visitors to the Termas have easy access, and they run at least one organized excursion out there every day. Our excursion was a hike on the “Glacier Viewpoint Trail” — which took us to an amazing viewpoint from which we could see a hanging glacier.
